Medicinal Benefits of Oloptz KT Eye Drop

KETOROLAC+OLOPATADINE contains two medicines: Ketorolac (pain killer) and Olopatadine (antihistamine), primarily used to treat allergic eye disease. Ketorolac works by blocking the release of several chemical messengers that cause inflammation (redness and swelling), and pain in the eye.  Olopatadine is an antihistamine drug that inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells. Histamines are chemical messengers that are released due to an allergic response in the body. These chemicals are known to cause allergies like runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. It is used to relieve itching, burning, redness, watering in the eyes caused by allergic conjunctivitis. It also treats symptoms of congestion, sneezing, and runny nose caused by seasonal allergies.
